Former First Lady Melania Trump teased her upcoming speech at Mar-a-Lago this weekend on Friday as her husband sat in a Lower Manhattan courtroom for the jury selection in his hush money case.

The former first lady will be the main speaker at a Mar-a-Lago event on Saturday, hosted by the Log Cabin Republicans, a pro-LGBT group.

The event will center around the group's "Road to Victory," a voter-turnout effort targeting gay voters in swing states.

"We must unite in our effort to establish a society where equality is the everyday experience of every American," she told Fox News Digital.

"Individual freedom provides a unifying set of principles and ultimately establishes our American way," she continued.

Melania will join former Ambassador Ric Grenell at the event on Saturday.

Grenell, who worked in the Trump administration, was the first openly gay U.S. presidential Cabinet member. As for unity, Grenell told Fox that it's the Democrats and far-left activists who are to blame for separating Americans.

"But gay conservatives know this is the greatest country in the world to be who you are. We are welcomed in every community," stated Grenell.

"We aren't oppressed in America," he added.

The former first lady underscored the Log Cabin Republicans' overarching mission as "important" and "rooted in respect."

"Based on this central value, people thrive and exist together in a world where all are honored and celebrated," she concluded.
